asparagus alla carbonara

That's right friend- there's no pasta in this dish. Lest you think this is some gimmicky, rachael-ray-style flight of fancy (today we're making lasagna hamburgers!), I consulted my flavor bible, and this recipe incorporates several of asparagus' favorite flavor buddies: parmesan, eggs, black pepper, and salt (I guess those last two are a little lame, but still- eggs and cheese!). Plus, it used up 4 of the two dozen farm eggs my mother-in-law gave me, so that was awesome. It's going to be all eggs, all the time 'round here for awhile :) Oh- and one note about the cheese- don't grate it with a microplane- it will be far too fluffy. I used the smaller set of holes on my box grater and I think that was just about right.
